Dr. Stein uses functional medicine to help patients find the underlying causes of illness and the nutritional and biochemical imbalances that may be contributing to them. Functional medicine is personalized medicine that uncovers the root cause of disease instead of focusing on the suppression of symptoms. Dr. Stein will search for underlying triggers that are contributing to your illness through cutting edge lab testing.  She will tailor the intervention to your specific needs as an individual. She may use diet, dietary supplements, lifestyle changes or medication to treat your illness but will seek the least invasive way to help your body restore balance. She seeks to promote wellness and create hope, health and healing by partnering with you.
